💛 Is Yellow Tint a Problem When Dyeing Your Hair with Bright Colors?

So… is yellow tint really that bad?

Well, “bad” is always relative. It depends on how strong the yellow tint is and which color you want to use.

💡 For pastel tones, your hair must be white blonde

That means:
❌ No yellow
❌ No orange
❌ No gold

Otherwise, pastel colors won’t show up properly or will shift in tone.

✨ For medium-intensity shades

A slight yellow tint might still be okay, depending on the color.
Some shades can cover yellow, but the color might not turn out as bright or vivid.

🌑 For dark shades

Honestly? The yellow doesn’t matter.
These colors are strong enough to cover it, and it won’t affect the result.

💡 In every Headshot product description, we mention how light your base hair should be for best results.
General rule:
The lighter your hair → the brighter the result!

⚠️ Yellow can change the color outcome

This is important: a yellow undertone can actually change how the final color looks.
For example, if you apply a blue dye on hair with yellow tint → the result may turn out green.

That’s why we always recommend a strand test first! 💯
